Issue #116 - A new extension / feature for Kay: HTML sanitizing

[Paolo Casciello]

Hi!

I've created also an issue just for reference.

I'm planning to add in Kay a new extension to support sanitizing html input.

For this type of tasks we're using and battle-tested the "bleach" library ( http://pypi.python.org/pypi/bleach ) that depends on html5lib.

It's very useful and customizable to handle text submitted in forms or API. It not only strip tags but can also clean them.

At first I was thinking to include it in the kay.ext namespace and let devels use it directly but we could also include it in the main lib (or utils) and provide an HTMLField type in the form module and allowing to pass parameters to sanitize the HTML content.

I think this could be an elegant solution for Kay, what do you think?

Thanks Paolo,
How big your code is? If it's small(I mean, < 200k), let's bundle it.

Hi,

# du -hsc html5lib bleach

532K html5lib

 24K bleach

556K total

I think it's too much.. even if it's very useful :P

PS: just updated to latest revision and is working perfectly.

Bye,
